Lightheaded 03:58
The zero faith I have is sinking in Catching me every which way I have ever been I need a vice but it's overused Cause I can't decide how to cut this loose I can't seem to love this better than what I found falling right beside me all this time But I need clarity to get me back the things I lost that I can't find, like my peace of mind You're not alone inside this race It's what I want they won't let me chase And I can't seem to picture myself in all those lies that they pressure me into Why can't you let me go? I can't seem to love this better than what I found falling right beside me all this time But I need clarity to get me back the things I lost that I can't find, like my peace of mind I can't seem to love this better than what I found falling right beside me all this time But I need clarity to get me back the things I lost that I can't find, like my peace of mind

Flashbacks 03:28
I found that waking up has been shaking my mind harder than it ever has And everyday's the same It's not reality that twists my thoughts and senses Can't you see that I, I wanna go back in time I'm half misplaced in a never everlasting world I can't replace I've been wishing everything would be as normal as it was last evening And I want to go, but you will take me, throw me down, and drag my body cause it feels like the same thing I'm obsessed, a total wreck I've been suppressing this fear I've been dealing with I have this reoccurring dream, where I drive straight through the wall Maybe someday my eyes will open wide and I can stand tall So take the flashbacks you've hated and wake up forgetting all of those scenes God, I hate having dead dreams You'll fall down after many, many white lies spin your head around I've been wishing everything would be as normal as it was last evening And I want to go, but you will take me, throw me down, and drag my body cause it feels like the same thing

Marooned 04:10
All my problems, they disappear when I'm gone Cause everything is a lie, and these lies I can't deny Cause when you see me, I'm not always that pleasing Cause you've been striking me down from these thoughts that I got time to time Won't you please give me one last try? And I will ride with you until I'm marooned just to wake up feeling the same everyday and have that constant feeling thinking that I left something behind And you would build me up to throw me away when you found out nothing worked how you wished But I can't think of the fall and the small problems that never exit when I'm gone And now I know that everything isn't as bad as having both hands tied right behind seventeen warning signs So take some time to waste, it isn't always commonplace But I've been loving this night and the feeling of life when I'm gone You've been sparing me all along And I will ride with you until I'm marooned just to wake up feeling the same everyday and have that constant feeling thinking that I left something behind And you would build me up to throw me away when you found out nothing worked how you wished But I can't think of the fall and the small problems that never exit when I'm gone I feel like I'm better off alone But I lay awake at night and think about a better home Give me strength and patience and everything I need to get it right cause I've finally heard my lessons learned but it'll take some time

Take me back to better days, the times it all felt quite okay When we were the only ones Everything felt better then, and nothing ever seemed to be missing But now we broke and fell apart I wanna relive yesterday, too bad I wished that life away Cause I'd give anything to go back now Open up your memories, a second place to be with me I'll take you on an endless drive Why can't I find anything that's worth my time? Everyday's a calling out to you and what we're missing Take your precious time and gain a little peace of mind While I'm sitting out back thinking of the days too far gone You fell into the mass, the place of your arrest You fell into the mass, the place of your arrest You fell into the mass, the place of your arrest You fell into the mass, the place of your arrest Why can't I find, it's not worth my time (You fell into the mass, the place of your arrest) You know it's up to you, and what we've been through (You fell into the mass, the place of your arrest)

Clarity 03:08
Twist every word Thank god I never put any of my faith inside your picture frame, so Bury my capsule Place my heart in diaries and never give it away I know you're worthless, don't tell me I'm the same If I found a way to change, would you believe me? Would you believe me? When the days behind the house had little meaning, now I'm just dreaming of it all Try to feel my heart You don't know what it's like split in four, exclusion tore me apart But I've come to terms with the fact that I'll never see you again, make sure I'm fine with that I know you're worthless, please tell me it's different If I found a way to change, would you believe me? Would you believe me? When the days behind the house had little meaning, now I'm just dreaming of it all

Dead Season 04:19
Back up, looks like we've got bad blood One more shot and I'm done throwing everything away You say you're just playing a game But I've gotta think straight Need to get it all away And I've been feeling so numb Call it dead season cause we're falling out Don't worry this will all be okay But I don't know if I believe in my faith I won't rest until my lungs feel comfortable Cause you broke all your promises when you, when you walked out the door I just need to know I feel it in my bones and I have no self control But you, you see me through And every time I start to cry And every time I want to die And I've been feeling so numb Call it dead season cause we're falling out Don't worry this will all be okay But I don't know if I believe in my faith I won't rest until my lungs feel comfortable Cause you broke all your promises when you, when you walked out the door

about

Alma Mater was formed by longtime friends Vinny Amarando & Jerry Maloney. The two started writing the band's first collection of songs in basements, dorm rooms, and eventually in a small recording studio. With guidance from studio engineer and friend, Jon Higgins, the band began recording their first official EP and later brought Higgins on as a band member for guitar/vocals. Their songs range in dynamics and structure, but maintain a cohesive sound due to the final touches Joe Loftus (Glow November, John Canjar, University Drive) gave while mastering their EP, "Cloud Cover".
